Piab’s Kenos® KVG Series
Piab’s Kenos® Safe&Light, KVG Series is a flexible solution for handling products with different shapes and dimensions. Thanks to a double technology, check valves & flow reducers, many industrial applications can be fulfilled. The KVG gripping system can be equipped with an integrated vacuum generation or a separated vacuum generation through pump or side channel blower. The integrated vacuum generator is a modular multi-state COAX® ejector which offers easy maintenance and the possibility to be scaled up based on need, even after installation.
The mat of the KVG gripping system is made of a technical foam (FDA approved mat also available) with different pitch holes and thicknesses. The KVG120C and KVG60C can be equipped with suction cups from Piab’s broad program.
